For those of you who were at the 83rd National FFA Convention, you understand the relevence of the "and a goat" portion of this note. For those of you who were not in attendance, please bear with me as I attempt to interest you with 25 facts about Wyatt Nick DeJong.
1) Both of my nieces were born when I was at FFA events (South Dakota Leadership Retreat as the State Secretary and when I was in Zambia, Africa this past summer for FFA GO: Africa).
2) I know how to crochet.
3) I finished a half marathon this past September (didn’t quite run all 13.2 miles, I walked 2.5 of it).
4) Kip Littau and I made the champion cold pie at the county fair (Watermelon Pie)!
5) My home is 15 miles away from the nearest paved road.
6) I was homeschooled K-8th grades. Then I went to high school in Winner and stayed with my Beppa (that is Dutch for grandma) during the week because we live 28 miles from town.
7) I love Maine-Anjou cattle.
8) One of the first pigs that I ever showed would laugh if he was tickled.
9) I love chess, cards, and puzzles.
10) I have never been on a roller coaster.
11) I have never broken a bone.
12) I have never had a nickname.
13) In high school, I was named the best supporting actor.
14) Tuba…enough said!
15) Between my three older sisters and me, we have been to 6 continents.
16) This last year I was on South Dakota State University’s livestock judging team.
17) I used to love stuffed animals (like the toy kinds) and would always want another for Christmas.
18) I still have so many toy horses that I keep hidden in my top dresser drawer.
19) Woodworking is one thing that I really enjoy but don’t ever seem to have time to do it. My senior project in Ag Structures was a cedar chest.
20) I love collecting things. When I was younger I had a variety of collections (rocks, bouncy balls, paper, even Smokey Bear pencils, ect…)
21) Neck ties are awesome!
22) Laughing is a lifestyle.
23) When I was roughly in the third grade, most of my family members had eye-glasses and I wanted some too. So, I complained that my eyes hurt, when the really didn’t. When I was at the eye doctor, I purposely chose some of the more blurry lenses so that I could get glasses (yeah, I was a brat back then). Now I do not use or even need to use glasses.
24) I do sing Christmas songs all year round (but only to myself:-)
25) Basketball is my favorite sport. MARCH MADNESS IS THE BEST!!!! But I really don’t have a team that I go all out for (if I would have to pick one…it would be Gonzaga!!!! Go Bulldogs).
